Who can do it?
Though technically not that challenging, Island Peak Climbing is physically demanding and strenuous. First-time climbers can make the ascent provided they are physically fit and have basic mountaineering skills. If you have done some high altitude trekking and feel confident about scaling your first mountain, then this is the trip for you.
Best Time To Go
The best Island Peak Climbing seasons are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). During Spring and Autumn the weather remains clear and favorable for climbing. Climbing is possible during the winter months too, but conditions remain extreme and harsh during this period.
